Purpose of Wealth Declaration
Wealth declaration was developed as a means to work against corruption in the country especially for those in public service. This holds them openly accountable. In line with several Acts of parliament such as the Public Officer Ethics Act, wealth declaration is a process that seeks to uphold the moral fabric and ethical integrity of the society together.
There are many researchers and scholars who have commented and critiqued just how effective the process is as a means to end corruption. There are views that support its efficacy while some refute the statements saying that corruption cases still occur despite having those in office openly declare their wealth, and even that of their spouse.
